Just got set up as a Judge/TC and I'm looking to start a fun, weekly tradition. Throwback Thursday! It's an homage to an odd thing people do here in the States. Basically, people post pictures of themselves from school or a song they loved while 12 years old to reminisce about how great it was (or horrid) to live back then. And since it fits alliteratively, we do it on Thursdays.

Well, I'd like to bring that flavor to ML, but in the format of flashback drafts. Return to Ravnica, Mirrodin, Innistrad, and other planes, and relive the glory days of Transmuting, Affinity for Artifacts, and Spider Spawning. The format might bring back Glory or Recurring Nightmares (actually, I think Exodus will not be something we revisit... Odyssey block is on the table though).

I'll likely start taking entries for these around 6:15pm EST and look to fire the draft by 6:30pm EST. First 8 to sign up get to jump in the way back machine! Please post here if you are interested and also a list of sets/blocks you wish to draft.

It's likely that Ravnica will be among the first planes we re-visit. I think that tonight is probably too early notice, and next week is an American holiday... but I could probably run a tourney during our family football marathon.

Sadly I doubt I will be able to make it, as from Monday I'm working 6 days a week 10-8 up until we break up for Christmas. But if this runs for a while any of the sets I mentioned I would be interested drafting.

Rather do a Draft league, preferably a std draft league, you make a 6 pack sealed your choice of the sets in std, and you draft 2 packs a week. every time you draft your deck size grows by 2 cards. The rules for sets would be you cannot do more than 3 of a set in your sealed, and you cannot draft the same set 2 times in a row. So if ur sealed is bfzx3 and ktkx3 you cannot draft either one until the second draft. then the first draft you did Orix2 that means you cannot do ori in the second draft. 10 rounds. Any takers?

Guitardude tried to start something like this a couple of times recently. Internal disagreements over how the rules worked (some of us didn't like that there was trading) caused it to dissipate. I would be open to joining a more traditional sealed league like you are describing, and I'm sure Guitardude would be willing to work with you to organize it too.

I do this (more or less) IRL with guys I know from work. Pretty cool format.

the only part i am unsure of how to manage is pools and how would we set up the "drafts" say person A wanted bfz and ori but person b was on FRF and ktk. not sure there is a draft program that will allow each player their own packs. We just started one at my store i got a drana and 2 vents in my esper deck right now. thinking about branching into red for some removal and cutting the blue. Trading would NOT be permitted. Too many instances of people just being "nice" and doing uneven color swaps. If Guitar wants to chat back and forth i am more than happy to, after the Thanksgiving holiday as i am usually offline during holidays
